This model is discontinued
AirTAC has phased out the MAL series. The drop-in replacement is SAIJ160X100-100S — same bore, stroke, output force, port and mounting, so it fits the same application. Simply order the SAIJ160X100-100S in place of this model. The SAI replacement keeps the same ISO 15552 mounting interface, bore, stroke, output force and accessories, so it drops straight into existing fixtures. It is the current-production version of this cylinder with an upgraded piston seal.
Airtac SIJ160 Double Rod Adjustable Cylinder SIJ160X100-100S
The AirTAC Airtac SIJ160 Double Rod Adjustable Cylinder SIJ160X100-100S is a double-acting ISO 15552 (orig. ISO 6431) profile-barrel cylinder with a Ø160mm bore and 100mm stroke, G3/4 air ports and adjustable end cushioning. This model is discontinued — the drop-in replacement is the SAIJ160X100-100S, which matches its ISO interface, bore, stroke, force and mounting.

About the Airtac SIJ160 Double Rod Adjustable Cylinder SIJ160X100-100S
The AirTAC SIJ160X100-100S is a double-acting single-rod ISO 15552 adjustable-stroke cylinder. An external stop screw lets you trim the extend stroke by up to 100mm on-site, dropping the usable stroke from the 100mm maximum down toward zero. The 160mm bore yields a 10053N push and 9425N pull at 0.5MPa, scaling to 18095N at 0.9MPa. It features a 40mm rod, M36x2 thread, 50mm adjustable cushions, a G3/4 port, and a -S piston magnet.
This SIJ series is discontinued; the exact drop-in replacement is the SAIJ160X100-100S, preserving the ISO 15552 mounting interface, bore, force, and port. The SAIJ upgrade introduces a two-piece Y-shaped piston seal for lower start-up pressure and longer life. For sizing, a safe working load is roughly 6032N (60% of the 0.5MPa push), and a vertical lift with a 2:1 margin is about 512kg. Note that the stop screw sets end position only—it is not a load lock; use an external rod lock or SAIL/BSAI variant for held loads.

Specifications follow the official AirTAC SI datasheet (now discontinued). The SAIJ160X100-100S carries the same ISO 15552 ratings. Confirm against the product label before installation. Thread options: PT / G / NPT.
Theoretical Output Force (Ø160mm)
| Pressure | Push force | Pull force |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 MPa | 10053 N | 9425 N |
| 0.7 MPa | 14074 N | — |
| Max (@1.0 MPa) | 2050 kgf | |
The SAIJ160X100-100S produces the same force from the same bore — a true drop-in on output. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical; size with a margin.

Where the Airtac SIJ160 Double Rod Adjustable Cylinder SIJ160X100-100S Is Used
Heavy Press Tonnage
Delivers 18095N push at 0.9MPa for assembly presses, with the 100mm stop screw allowing exact final position tuning without shims.
Varying Height Indexing
Handles vertical descent operations where the exact bottom stop must be dialed in on-site across different product heights.
Large Mold Handling
Moves heavy 160mm bore tooling with a 50mm adjustable cushion to safely decelerate substantial moving masses before the stop.
Replacing the Airtac SIJ160 Double Rod Adjustable Cylinder SIJ160X100-100S with the SAIJ160X100-100S
To replace the discontinued SIJ160X100-100S, order the drop-in SAIJ160X100-100S, which retains the G3/4 port, M36x2 rod, and ISO 15552 mounting. When sizing both ways, the neighboring 125mm bore provides 6136N push at 0.5MPa, while the 200mm bore offers 15708N. The 100mm adjust window is ideal if your end position needs on-site tuning, but remember the stop screw is not a load lock. Mounting options include FA, LB, and TC. The -S suffix means a piston magnet is present for CS1-B/DS1-B switches. For strokes of 300mm or longer, verify side-load limits to prevent excessive guide wear.
Replacement checklist
- ✓ Same ISO 15552 interface → SAIJ160X100-100S
- ✓ Same bore / stroke / force
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT/G/NPT)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) for sensors?
- ✓ Mounting reused (FA/FB/CA/CB/CR/LB/TC)
Airtac SIJ160 Double Rod Adjustable Cylinder SIJ160X100-100S FAQ
Yes, the SIJ160X100-100S is discontinued. The exact drop-in replacement is the SAIJ160X100-100S. It matches the ISO 15552 interface, 160mm bore, 100mm stroke, 100mm adjust window, G3/4 port, and force ratings, while adding an upgraded Y-shaped piston seal.
The 160mm bore yields 10053N push and 9425N pull at 0.5MPa, 14074N push at 0.7MPa, and 18095N push at 0.9MPa. The external stop screw provides a 100mm adjust window to shorten the extend stroke on-site. The stop sets end position only and does not hold the load on air loss.
